    We enjoyed the house and convenience to the pool and beach. Golf cart was a cool feature to ride to the beach on. Also loved how close the house is to two very nice golf courses!

    Lovely and beautiful home close to the beach and other attractions. Enjoyed having our whole family (party of 15) in one location and having 3 separate floors allowed privacy and quiet. Large bedrooms with en-suites were perfect for 5 different couples with children. Going to the pool in the evenings was a lot of fun after a busy day.

    14 family members gathered for a beach vacation. Even though the house isn’t directly on the beach, it’s not too far away. A 6 passenger golf cart was provided plus 2 bicycles. The property included beach towels, beach chairs and beach toys for the kids. The kitchen was pretty much stocked. There are arcade games on the second and third floors, but they did not work. The number of beds and bathrooms was perfect for 9 adults and 5 children. Would definitely consider staying at this property again.

    It was the perfect house for a multi-family friends getaway. The perfect amount of space for 21 people-we never felt crowded or on top of each other. The location was perfect and the golf cart made it even better. The pool was closed the first couple days we were there due to glass being spilled in it so they had to refill it but as soon as it opened we were notified. The only thing we wish the rental had were spices already there for cooking and a few more kitchen items. There weren’t big pans to use to cook for a large group. All in all we had a great vacation!

    This was the perfect property for our group of 20! We had a total of 5 families that stayed here with kids ranging from 2-12. It was the perfect place for us to all come together and still have our privacy and space when needed. We would 100% book this place again.

    This house was great for our group of 14. We had 9 adults, a five year old, two three year olds, a 10 month old and a two month old. The kids loved all of the things to play with, and the bunk beds! The golf cart was great. The kitchen was great, with a fridge big enough to stick for our large group. Everyone had a blast with the ping pong table, and the living area on the second floor was so nice for the kids to rest after a busy day at the beach. The kids loved the video games. We had a few minor issues that were taken care of very quickly. The responsiveness of the team was amazing. One thing I do want to mention is that it seemed as if the floors had not been mopped in a long time. They looked clean, but our feet were black on the bottoms after walking around. And our crawling baby had black hands and knees. Overall we had a great vacation! We made memories that will last a lifetime.
